Microsoft looks to be gearing up to deliver a new distributed security service running on Azure that will help isolate and destroy malware.
Codenamed “Project Sonar,” the service “dynamically analyzes millions of potential exploit & malware samples in VMs (virtual machines) and collects terabytes of data during that analysis every day,” according to a recent Cloud and Enterprise Group job posting describing the service.
From the job posts about Sonar, it’s not clear to me if Microsoft will allow customers to run Sonar, and then amass and analyze the data collected, or if Microsoft will run Sonar and allow users to analyze the data gathered.
